Yup, some quite old versions of mknbi-dos have been ported to compile
and run under DOS. But since the compilation environments on DOS or
Windows systems are not the least standardized (actually the situation
is much worse than under Unix), I haven't included those into netboot.
Also, I don't have the means to compile and test mknbi-dos under DOS.
If you still want to take a look at those older DOS versions, please
let me know by personal email, and I will try to dig them out of my
archives. But be aware that you still have to do some patching by your-
self, as your compilation environment will likely differ from the one
used by the originator of the patches.

gero.
